Beet It

Alex Westhaven’s Beet It presents a narrative centered on Tara Pyle, whose consumption of specific beets grants her body remarkable healing capabilities. This supernatural element drives the plot when she attempts to share her harvest with her boyfriend, Colin. The resulting consequences are severe and unexpected, forcing Tara into a precarious position. She must now deal with the intense scrutiny of local police officers and hospital staff who question the source of her condition. Tara seeks assistance from an unnamed individual capable of helping her understand the origins of her powers. The story explores the mystery surrounding these special vegetables and the dark secrets they may hold. Westhaven, the author, constructs a tale that blends domestic life with supernatural horror. The narrative focuses on the personal cost of such gifts and the difficult choices Tara faces as she uncovers the truth. This book suits readers who enjoy contemporary supernatural fiction with a focus on character-driven mystery and bodily horror. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional gothic settings or historical periods. The story remains grounded in the immediate aftermath of Tara’s actions, emphasizing the unraveling of personal secrets rather than broad world-building. The ending reveals an unsavory truth that challenges Tara’s understanding of her own nature.
